How can I understand this "apply to"?

How can I understand this "apply to"?

This is from my grammar book:
"There has been considerable disagreement and confusion over the use of the term 'homonym', which has often been extended to apply to cases we have referred to as homomorphs."

Can I understand "to apply to cases" as following:
"I apply homonym to apply to cases."

My line of thinking is right?
Could you tell me, please?
